The holiday season is upon us, and the Princess of Wales’s newest look is my official party outfit blueprint. Sadly, I don’t have access to Queen Elizabeth‘s diamond earrings, but I can copy Kate Middleton‘s latest shoe color trend. Dressed to the nines, Prince William and Princess Kate just attended the Royal Variety Performance at Royal Albert Hall in London. Middleton wore a pair of Art Deco earrings from the late queen’s collection along with a dark green velvet gown by Talbot Runhof and matching Manolo Blahnik heels.
I’ve been reporting on the princess’s style for well over a decade, so I can say with certainty that she plays favorites when it comes to her shoe collection. For dressed-up occasions, Middleton strongly prefers her nude pointy-toe pumps. This week, however, she switched things up and went with a rich, dark emerald color to coordinate with her dress of the same hue. You can bet I’ll be emulating her when I show up to my first holiday party of the season. Scroll down to shop my favorite dark green velvet shoes.
